Since making his professional acting debut in 1971 in the iconic film Summer of ’42, Jerry Houser has worked virtually nonstop in film and television, both in front of and behind the camera as a voice actor and producer, including many animated productions for Disney and Hanna-Barbera (among others), commercials for such products as Keebler Cookies, plus he’s the voice you hear on CBS every year during the holiday season. If you’re a fan of The Brady Bunch, you know Jerry as Wally Logan, Marcia’s husband, on The Brady Brides, A Very Brady Christmas and the spinoff series The Bradys, while hockey fans know him best as Dave “Killer” Carlson in the original Slap Shot starring Paul Newman.

Jerry Houser has also had a passion for teaching from a young age. He, along with Robb Holt, provides a personal yet professional workshop for beginners, both here in Los Angeles as well as private sessions via Skype, for those who are interested beginning in a voiceover career. We’ll ask Jerry what casting directors are looking for in voice artists today (and how to find your own voice in today’s competitive market), plus he’ll share a few memories from his film and TV career when he joins us in our second hour.

Also joining us in our second hour will be longtime television writer Paul Robert Coyle. Paul began his career writing for The Streets of San Francisco and Barnaby Jones, plus he’s written for Crazy Like a Fox, Simon and Simon, Jake and the Fatman, Xena: Warrior Princess, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Stephen King’s The Dead Zone and other network and cable series. A longtime friend of Jerry Houser’s, Paul arranged for Jerry’s visit on our program this week.

Our first hour will include a look inside the world of stand-up comedy as we welcome actor/comedian Dan Davidson. A regular at such comedy clubs as The Improvs, Funny Bones, and Catch a Rising Star, Dan has appeared on Comedy Central’s Short Attention Span Theater, FOX’s A Night of Comedy, and numerous radio shows, plus he has performed with the likes of David Alan Grier, Bobby Slayton, Brett Butler and Kevin Pollak.

Dan Davidson has a supporting role opposite Josh Brolin in the action crime thriller Sicario: Day of the Soldado, which opens in theaters everywhere on Friday, June 29. We’ll ask Dan how he came about that role (and what he looks for when considering a part in general, whether for comedy or drama); what his thought process is when he puts together a stand-up routine; and how watching Charlie Callas on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson first inspired him to become a comedian.
